ON this date in 2003 - Rush Limbaugh announced that he was addicted to painkillers and that he was going to check into a rehab center.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple were in the same center (for entirely different reasons) and noticed how often Rush talked to himself during his stay there.
The ramblings were laughable, but apparently play well on Talk Radio and on Fox...
Apparently, if you want to hear that crap and it matches your bias, you buy it!
Bun Man was dumbfounded; all he could do was mutter something unintelligible...
Mr. Purple covered for him by telling the lass "The Boy is prone to fits..."
In the 1880s, that was enough to stop even the most ardent femme.

ON this date in 1886 - The tuxedo dinner jacket made its U.S. debut in New York City.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple, local bon Vivantes, wore their spiffy attire to the New York Astoria Hotel to get some Porterhouse Steaks.
While there, one of the local lassies came up to Bun Man and uttered the now infamous line "Are you smokin' in that jacket or are you just happy to see me?"

Compacted morning prayer...
Dear good God, thanks for this day, listen to my wife. Amen...
It's working
PROTECTION AIN'T THE SAME FOR EVERYONE
Ken-Dogger: What do you want Cato?
Cato: Oh snap, I forgot that’s a signal to you…
KD: Well yeah, I worked in schools.
C: Okay, so how’s the robbing going?
KD: Robbing?
C: Well, every time you go into a store, you are masking up…just thought it was a stick up
KD: Oh, no, just masking to protect others…
C: I think Jesse James said the same thing…
KD: That was different…
C: Guess protection isn’t the same to everyone
KD: Apparently not.
Morning Peeps,
There's an equal part of good and bad, just know where to stop your story.
Historybook: United States Naval Academy opens (1845); American actress Helen Hayes born (1900); Filmmaker Orson Welles dies (1985); Hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship ends (1985); "Superman" actor Christopher Reeve dies (2004).
"If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story."
- Orson Welles
Just so you know...
Jardiance is really swell, the little pill with the big story to tell.
Milton is going to bring another Paradise Lost to FLA...
As Luckovich appropriately depicts...
THIS ELECTION IS OF WOMEN, BY WOMEN, AND FOR WOMEN...
Women will lead us out of this US misery.
ON this date in 1872 - Aaron Montgomery started his mail order business with the delivery of the first mail order catalog.
The firm later became Montgomery Ward.
Bun, Purple and I would wile away the hours paging thru the catalog in our youth.
Finally, me mum took it away when the women's bra and panties pages got more tattered than the rest of the book--WHO FIGURED?
(Secretly, the Boyz and I always wondered why panties had the days of the week on 'em)
ALTERING
Ken-Dogger: Morning Fabio, what you got there?
Fabio: Uh…A Box…I’m playin’ in it.
KD: Oh, but I mean, what came in it?
F: Not sure, it said LT-Meter on the side…
KD: Oh, that’s my new Lie-Truth Meter, I was looking for that.
F: Cool, so you can tell what is true and what is a lie?
KD: Naw, sold exclusively in America, the meter doesn’t sort anything, half believe it’s a lie, half believe it’s the truth, it’s altering the toy world.
F: And it’s altering the real world too.
ON THIS DATE IN 2021
Quote: “It was a nice break from everything.”
Livae Nanjikana was feeling refreshed after he and another man from the Solomon Islands spent 29 days lost at sea.
You know the world’s going through a rough patch when being stranded by a storm off the coast of Papua New Guinea sounds like a yoga retreat in Joshua Tree.
There ARE times when Corporations get it right...
From the Annals of the Hall of Fame of Great Firing Parting Shots...
ON this date in 1781 - The last major battle of the American Revolutionary War took place in Yorktown, VA.
The American forces, led by George Washington, defeated the British troops under Lord Cornwallis.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple grabbed their gear and headed home to DE after fighting for 4 long years.
When Bun got home, he said "I am the Boss of my Home!" Mrs. Bun quickly retorted "When I'm not here and the Dog's asleep you are..."
Bun spent a lot of days at the Veterans Home after that.
Morning Peeps,
Gonna change things up a bit this morning, going to do a bike ride today.
Since I played golf Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, it is a well-deserved break.
Then some coffee and fika at Beans & Brew with the Mikster.
The only difference between men and boys is the size of their sandbox.
Gotta run peeps, got a teetime this AM...
Doing MY part to kick up dust in the West
Peace Love Dove GOLF Peeps

Trump would add more to the national debt than Harris, study finds. Crunching the numbers for both candidates’ policy proposals, the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget found that they’d increase the national debt—but that Donald Trump’s plans would balloon the deficit twice as much as Kamala Harris’s.
